Artist Portrait

Bill Evans

p, 1929-1980 US, Plainfield, New Jersey
Musician / Composer of Jazz
A.k.a. William John Evans

William John "Bill" Evans (/ˈɛvəns/, August 16, 1929 – September 15, 1980) was an American jazz pianist and composer who mostly worked in a trio setting. Evans' use of impressionist harmony, inventive interpretation of traditional jazz repertoire, block chords, and trademark rhythmically independent, "singing" melodic lines continue to influence jazz pianists today.
